The preparation and subsequent filling of the estimate is absolutely deservedly considered milestone any building or renovation work. In most cases, the design of a building or structure is completed with the execution of estimate documentation. In the case of performing small amounts of work, for example, repair or finishing, when the project is not being developed, an estimate is also necessary. This is explained by the fact that it serves as initial information for the development of many related documents necessary and important for the effective organization of work, in particular, the work schedule and the schedule for the supply of necessary materials and mechanisms.

Budgeting will become a much easier process if you entrust this business to professionals.

Form and sample estimate for work

In essence, the document in question consists of two parts:

• calculation of direct costs, which are determined on the basis of 2001 prices and are converted into current prices by multiplying by the corresponding appreciation index, set quarterly. Direct costs consist of the following elements:
  • Cost of materials;
  • the main salary of workers;
  • the costs of EMM (operation of machines and mechanisms necessary for the performance of work), including the salary of machinists;
  • calculation of overhead costs and estimated profit, made taking into account the standards in force at the time the estimate was made.

disadvantage this method is that the 2001 prices applied when using it quite often do not take into account the realities of today, since at the time of compilation many technologies and materials simply did not exist. However, in the construction of budget facilities and most private large-scale construction projects, there is no alternative to the base-index method today.

How to make a budget for work

As an example of a simplified form of an estimate for the repair of a room, the following table can be given.

	Name of works			Price per unit	Cost of work
	Dismantling of partitions
	Dismantling the balcony door
	Construction of partitions from foam blocks
	Plastering of partitions and walls
	Puttying, priming and painting of plastered surfaces
	Balcony door installation
	Plastering of doors and window slopes
	Puttying, priming and painting window and door slopes
	TOTAL according to the estimate				139 080=

The importance of good budgeting and budgeting

As already noted, filling out an estimate allows you not only to get an approximate amount that will cost construction or a certain amount of work. This value is necessary to determine the contractual price of an object or stage of work, both for the customer or investor, and for the contractor, that is, the direct manufacturer.

But in addition to this direct functional purpose, a competent and modeled design of the estimate will allow you to plan the work in such a way that they are done as quickly as possible and at a lower price. In addition, the estimate also helps determine the need for necessary materials, which, in combination with the work schedule, will make it possible to develop a schedule for their delivery.

The main tasks of the estimate

The development and filling of the estimate allows you to solve three most important tasks at once, which are always faced by any contractor and customer:

• determination of the cost of construction or any work. AT modern conditions the estimated price is the most important parameter, vital for all participants in the construction process. It is interesting for the customer not to overpay, and for the contractor - to receive a worthy reward for the work. A well-designed estimate allows you to take into account the wishes of both parties and get an amount that suits everyone;
• scheduling development. The timing of the construction of a building or the performance of any work is often no less important for the customer than their cost. The timely delivery of the object and, of course, the receipt of remuneration, possibly with a premium, depend on this. The estimate for work, made according to the model, provides the builders with all the necessary information for the development of the calendar plan;
• development of a schedule for the supply of materials. With the correct filling of the estimate, the need for materials and mechanisms becomes clear, which, in combination with the calendar plan, makes it possible to draw up another important document for the uninterrupted work of builders - a schedule for the supply of materials. Efficient construction organizations do not purchase materials for the entire facility at once - this simply freezes money that is much more efficient to spend on something more important at the moment, and also requires significant storage costs, etc. Also, any downtime of equipment and workers is extremely unprofitable, which is fraught with no less serious additional costs.

As a result, we can say the following: the preparation of an estimate allows not only to understand the cost of construction or a separate stage of work, but also to effectively plan their implementation.

Basic-index method for compiling and filling out estimates

There are several various methods formation of the estimated cost. When erecting large objects, when filling in the estimate takes place as part of the development of the project, the base-index method is almost always used. In this case, the estimated standards of 2001 and the conversion indices to current prices are used for the calculation.

Simplified form of estimate

Quite often, especially when construction or repair is carried out by the household method or at small facilities, a simpler estimate form is used, which consists only of calculating direct costs. It contains a listing of the scope of work and prices for them, which can be broken down into the same components as in the option described above: the RFP of workers, the cost of materials and, if necessary, the cost of machines and mechanisms. In this case, the estimate form, after its execution and filling, looks like the one shown in the following photo:

When compiling and filling out such a simplified version of the estimate, the contractor's profit is established on the basis of his negotiations with the customer or the construction investor.

The form of an object estimate for the performance of work

Quite often, especially during the construction of large objects, several so-called local estimates are compiled at once, that is, separate calculations for each type of work performed. In this case, to obtain the total cost of construction, they are combined into a general object estimate, a sample form of which is shown in the following photo.

Object estimate

Drawing up and filling out an object estimate allows you to bring together all the information about the object under construction, even when the individual stages of its construction are performed by different contractors. Often, local estimates are also calculated by them. Therefore, the generalization of all disparate data is extremely important for any customer or investor.

Programs for drawing up and filling out estimates

Currently, there are many programs that are used in the preparation of estimates. They can be roughly divided into two groups:

Free. Placed on the network on thematic resources. They are freely available.

Professional. Used by professionals. To use it, you need to purchase a distribution kit of a service product.

In the first case, there is no particular need to describe programs, since they appear almost constantly, while having similar parameters:

• the ability to perform the most simple calculations;
• lack of updating of regulatory frameworks (if they exist at all);
• minimal functionality.

Professional estimate programs are used much more actively, since without them it is almost impossible to draw up high-quality documentation for any large object. The most popular products at the moment are the following:

GRAND Estimate

According to experts, the most widely used budgeting program. Its advantages are the ability to automate the entire range of cost estimates, the speed of making changes to the regulatory framework and effective technical support for the product.

Smeta.ru

The only program that really competes with the GRAND Estimate described above. The main advantage of the product is its ease of use, which allows you to work with it without having professional knowledge estimator.

1C: Contractor (or 1C: Construction Organization Management)

These programs are not purely budgetary. However, they are quite popular due to the fact that 1C is used for accounting in the vast majority of Russian enterprises, including construction ones. The software products under consideration help to compile the necessary budget documentation; as a bonus, they are integrated into a single company management system.

turbo meter

An easy-to-learn and use program, which at the same time has quite serious functionality. It is not used as often as compared to GRAND Estimate and Estimate.ru.

WinSmeta, Rick and Bagheera

Software products whose peak popularity is in the past. However, a certain number of professional surveyors still continue to use them, which is explained by a number of undoubted advantages: wide functionality, editing, adjustment, etc.

The main mistakes in budgeting

There are several main types of errors that occur in the preparation and execution of estimates in practice. The most typical are the following:

Mistake 1. Insufficient detailing or excessive enlargement of the estimate. Any well-designed budget must contain complete list and the volume of work performed and, accordingly, the prices for them. In practice, often the customer and the contractor, having found out that the price level suits both parties, agree on the cost of a stage of work, for example, the repair of one room. As a result, in fact, a situation is obtained when the actual volume of any work performed does not coincide with the initially estimated one. The result is a conflict situation, since it is not clear how to evaluate the rise in price or reduction in the cost of work;

Error 2. Inaccurate accounting of volumes. The basis for the construction estimate must necessarily be a competently and accurately drawn up statement of volumes, in the case of repairs - a defective statement. In both situations, the result of the budget execution also depends on the correctness of their preparation. An error at the beginning can lead to a rather serious distortion of the final cost of the calculation, since in most cases there is a multiplication by various indices and prices, so the error increases all the time;

Mistake 3. Incorrect application of prices contained in HPES and TERs. One of the main problems of the basis-index method, the most common in real life, which was mentioned above - the discrepancy between the existing types of work and those encountered in practice. Therefore, quite often it is necessary to use the available prices "as applicable". This is a special term coined by estimators for similar situation. The more "applicable" prices are used when filling out the estimate, the more likely it is that the final figure will be incorrect. Naturally, this should take into account the fact that customers are trying to use low "applicable" prices, and contractors, on the contrary, are the most profitable.

In any case, the preparation and execution of estimates should be considered important and essential in modern conditions. preparatory stage any construction. It is better to entrust its implementation to professional and trained estimators, which will allow not only to form the optimal cost of work for the customer and contractor, but also to organize their effective implementation in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost.

Preparation of budgets for construction works Oh sure, because almost every project has a budget that needs to be agreed upon. In the article, we will talk about the basic principles for developing construction estimates and how the Business.Ru service will help in drawing up estimates.

What you will learn about:

Basic principles of budgeting

Any estimate is made to have a plan for the implementation of a specific project, but also solves other problems. For example, budgeting for construction and other repair work is necessary to:

• segregate the money needed for various materials, procedures and works;
• understand and tell the customer how much construction will cost;
• manage cash flows evenly and correctly, in accordance with time and requirements;
• check the financial feasibility of a particular design.

Estimated calculation during construction shows the cost of materials and work that are necessary for each of the processes separately.

Traditionally, the estimate is an annex to the contract for the provision of construction services.

The functionality of budgeting is one of the novelties of the Business.Ru service. This is useful for entrepreneurs and users of the system who are professionally engaged in construction or finishing work. Also, the ability to draw up construction estimates will simplify communication with contractors for store owners who delve into the process of repairing their facilities.

The principles of budgeting are spelled out in a special guide "Methodology for determining the cost of construction products on the territory of the Russian Federation" MDS 81-35-2004.

According to him, there are several types of estimates. Basically, the document determines the estimates when working with government orders and official bodies.

Types of construction estimates

MDS 81-35-2004 distinguishes the following types of construction estimates:

• local estimates (primary documents for the construction of large facilities and structures: buildings, roads, etc. at the base price level and with a forecast);
• object estimates (documents with figures from local estimates compiled with current year prices);
• consolidated estimates (created on the basis of previous documents, as well as on the basis of the estimated costs for the functioning of the administrative apparatus). They determine the final limit of funds that will be required for the construction of facilities.

Important! Guidelines are necessary for professional estimators for large government orders or construction firms. When compiling such estimates, they usually use reference books with prices for the year 2000, and then change them using a coefficient.

If we are talking about small companies when working with private companies or individuals, then a simpler version of the estimate is drawn up. The type of such a document differs in the areas of construction: a general estimate for construction work, as well as an estimate for finishing, electrical installation, design, plumbing, roofing, installation and other types of work.

An estimate for construction work is required if it is to be global project: starting from the construction of a new building, ending with the extension of a new premises.

A sample estimate for construction work differs from other estimates in a large number of positions. For example, it may contain not only a list of installation, but also dismantling works.

A sample estimate for construction work looks like this:

A sample estimate for construction work can be compiled independently in an Excel spreadsheet, or you can use special services for making estimates. For example, this functionality is available in the Business.Ru cloud accounting system.

Based on the results of work in the service, the finished estimate is also uploaded to Excel, where it can be further corrected.

Electro installation work- this is the whole complex of repair work related to electrical wiring. These include complete and partial rewiring, rewiring in a new building, and even the installation of an electrical panel, sockets, and lights.

The peculiarity of such a document is that the basis of the estimate is a list of works with a cost. You can make an estimate for electrical work using the Business.Ru service.

An example of an estimate for electrical work:

After the contract between the contractor and the customer, an electrical store is selected where the purchase will be made (or the purchase of equipment is carried out by the client himself through the online store).

Design work is the first stage in the construction of a building. When designing a structure, the estimate takes into account the remuneration of specialists. Usually, estimates for design work are compiled according to special reference books, where wages and coefficients are calculated. Such a document has a small number of columns.

An example of an estimate for design work:

Estimates for repair work can be very diverse. It includes sections related to decoration or minor repairs.

An example of an estimate for repair work to level the walls in a room where radiators have already been installed:

Plumbing work is a group of work related to the installation and replacement of plumbing and sewer pipes, as well as with the installation and dismantling of washbasins, toilet bowls, taps, radiators, etc.

Small private companies and individual entrepreneurs make estimates for plumbing work without taking into account guidelines on wages.

A sample estimate for plumbing work is presented below:

As in the case of a general estimate for construction work, an estimate for roofing work usually includes not only installation, but also dismantling.

The picture shows a sample estimate for roofing work in an administrative building:

Welding work with a separate estimate is usually compiled only by professional estimators in large construction companies, taking into account methodological recommendations.

However, if minor welding work is performed, then the estimate for welding work can be performed in simpler programs for preparing documents. For example, in the cloud service "Business.Ru".

A sample fragment of an estimate for welding work:

If work is carried out with excavation of the soil or, conversely, its backfilling (in pits), such work is called earthwork.

The estimate for earthworks usually includes the cost of the work itself (remuneration of workers and foremen), as well as expendable materials: shovels, bags, etc.

This is how a fragment of the sample estimate looks like on excavation made according to the guidelines:

Dismantling work is a set of works related to the destruction of a building or part of it (for example, walls, windows, doors, etc.).

Typically, in such a document, in addition to the cost of dismantling, the fee for lowering garbage from the floor, collecting and removing garbage to a landfill is indicated.

Sample estimate for demolition works:

Installation work - a set of works related to the installation of something. The estimate for installation work includes the calculation of the price of equipment, as well as the cost of its installation.

In the Business.Ru program, you can create a similar estimate that will help you sell a set of goods for the installation of technically complex products. For example, when implementing systems smart House» or an electronic barrier.

By the way, a sample estimate for the installation work of the barrier, which the store could print out for the client, is presented below:

Commissioning - a set of works after the installation of equipment: verification and adjustment of all processes. Usually, estimates during commissioning are made up in large construction companies, while taking into account the codes and positions of the standards specified in special reference books.

Sample estimate for commissioning:

Finishing work is the final stage of repair. For example, wallpapering, laying laminate, installing doors, etc.

A sample estimate for the finishing work of one of the office rooms is presented below. It includes finishing the ceiling, walls and floor.

Estimate for work and materials

An estimate for work and materials is a simplified type of estimate that is used when minor repairs. For example, if your store just needs to paint the walls, the sample labor and materials quote will only include the cost of paint and refinishing.

Estimate for survey work

Survey work is a list of works necessary to explore the construction site. The survey estimate includes both economic and technical work.

Economic calculations include studies that justify the benefits of building a building in this particular place. Technical is a complex of cases in the field of geology, geodesy, which are also carried out before construction.

The sample estimates for survey work mainly include the cost of wages, as well as the cost of transporting specialists to the site of the proposed construction (gasoline, car rental, etc.).

The concept of estimated cost in construction

The definition of the estimated cost is used not only by estimators, but also by all foremen who make estimates without taking into account standards. In the most general view, the estimated cost is the amount of money intended for construction. It represents the final amount on which the contractor and the customer rely to determine the amount of financing.

When deriving the estimated cost, prices for construction products, equipment costs (rent, purchase), removal and delivery, expenses for wages workers and their manager.

The estimated cost is determined by direct and overhead costs, as well as the estimated profit of the organization.

Direct costs include the cost of materials, the operation of machines and mechanisms, as well as the remuneration of employees.

Overhead costs in the construction estimate are indirect cash costs that are associated with the organization of work. These include, for example, remuneration of the administrative apparatus, payment for the use of programs for compiling estimates and other documentation, the use mobile communications, lease of premises of the administrative apparatus, etc.

Estimated profit - money to cover the costs of contractors and incentivize the work of employees (for example, allowances for processing).

Top 5 mistakes in budgeting

When drawing up construction estimates, errors periodically occur. Here are the top 5 most common mistakes.

1. No budget at all. The customer meets with the foreman and finds out the prices for the work in words. The contractor was recommended by a friend, so the future client does not doubt his honesty and simply inquires about the prices in order to estimate the costs.

As a result, the amount of expenses for construction or repair exceeds all allowable limits. After all, if there is no specific agreement on materials, the contractor will buy the amount of building materials exceeding the required volume.

1. No scope of work. The construction estimate may simply indicate the amount of costs for a particular action (for example, repairing a utility room), but the scope of work does not appear.

As a result, it turns out that the contractor, when drawing up the estimate, indicated only the main work on this object, and forgot the additional, smaller ones (on purpose or by accident - it does not matter in this case). The client has to pay.

For example, in a store, the ceiling is leveled. The contractor decided to use mesh and a minimum layer of plaster. But during the removal of the old coating, very large joints between the plates are found, which requires 5 times more plaster consumption. The customer's repair costs are on the rise.

1. Additional work in the estimate. This error may be random or special. Sometimes non-professional builders are not aware of a simpler technology and assume a more complex set of works. Additional work in the estimate may also appear intentionally in order to increase the cost of wages.
2. Exceeding the amount of materials in the estimate. Overestimating the amount of materials by more than 15% of what is required is not the contractor's insurance, but a mistake. Indeed, in order to draw up a good construction estimate, for example, for the repair of a store, it is necessary to measure all walls, windows, doorways, clarify the unevenness of surfaces, etc. However, rarely does a contractor approach calculations so thoroughly.
3. Indication of not all works in the estimate. An unscrupulous contractor can devote the bulk of the estimate preparatory work. The customer, having not fully considered the estimate, but only after seeing the final amount, sees that the price suits him, signs the contract.

As a result, the contractor does the rough work and disappears. The customer, having carefully looked at the estimate, sees that he really paid only the preparatory part. As a result, such a “mistake” in the construction estimate leads to an overpayment.

(Examples are considered on the basis of TER-territorial unit prices, analogously and FER-federal unit prices,
according to the Reference Estimate and Regulatory Base (new edition))

Let's analyze the first example of budgeting, the simplest:

For example, let's imagine that the Customer asks to repair the floor in the apartment.

We take a tape measure, a sheet of paper, a pen or pencil and leave to inspect the repair site, i.e. we go to the object.
Arriving at the site, we find out that the floor needs to be repaired in only one room.
Here, on the spot at the representative of the Customer, we clarify what exactly the Customer wants. The customer wants to change in one room old linoleum on the new semi-commercial "Tarkett Idyll OXFORD 2" with the width of the canvas for the whole room without joints and without glue.
Ask the Customer for all the details, on glue, without glue there will be linoleum, with or without a subbase, this will help you when choosing prices in the future.
We figured out the problem, now we need to decide on the volumes. It is good if the Customer gives you a copy of the room plan, which shows the dimensions of the room being repaired. And if not, then we will give you a tape measure and measure the width and length of the room with a tape measure ourselves.
Let's say that when measuring the width of the room, we got 3.5 m, and the length of the room is 5.0 m.
Having mentally photographed the floor and measured it, we return to our place of work and proceed to the second stage.

We consider the area of ​​​​the room 3.5 x 5.0 \u003d 17.5 m2.
Now we write in the defective statement what we need to do:

1. Remove the old linoleum. We write to the defective statement - Removal of linoleum 17.5 m2.
2. Lay new linoleum. We write to the defective statement - Laying semi-commercial "Tarkett Idyll OXFORD 2" linoleum without joints with a width of the canvas for the whole room without glue 17.5 m2.

Notice one important detail, all the details are written in the defective statement.

Specifically, in our case, we wrote not just "Laying linoleum", but "Laying semi-commercial linoleum "Tarkett Idyll OXFORD 2" without joints with the width of the canvas for the whole room without glue" as requested by the Customer.
Why such details, you will understand later, when looking for prices.
Well, in our case, the defective statement is ready, see below:

"APPROVE" ________________ /______________________ / "______" ____________________ 20___ Object: Apartment DEFECTIVE STATEMENT to replace the linoleum in the room
No. pp	Name of works and costs	unit of measurement	Quantity
1	2	3	4
1.	Removing linoleum	m2	17,5
2.	Laying semi-commercial linoleum "Tarkett Idyll OXFORD 2" without joints with the width of the canvas for the whole room without glue	m2	17,5
Compiled by: _________________________________________________________ (position, signature, full name) Checked by: _________________________________________________________ (position, signature, full name)

After the defective statement is ready, it is given to the Customer for approval.
And after the Customer approves the defective statement, we begin to draw up an estimate.

Drawing up a budget.
To draw up an estimate, we need TERr - Territorial unit prices for repair and construction work; TER-territorial unit prices for construction work.
If you are already familiar with the estimate program, then all these TERr, TER are in it.
So, we have a replacement for linoleum, i.e. repair, so we are looking for prices first in the repair sections - TERr - Territorial unit prices for repair and construction work. And if there are no prices suitable for us in the repair sections, then we are looking for them in the construction parts.
But when repairing, prices are always initially searched for in the repair sections.
We have a floor repair, so we are looking for TERr - floors, it will be TERr section 57. Floors.
Continue to TERr section 57. Floors. we are looking for linoleum removal. This will be the rate TERr 57-2-1.
For the first item in the defective statement, we found a price. We put it in our budget.
Now we are looking for a price for the second item on the defective list.
Since in TERr section 57. Floors. no price for laying linoleum, we refer to the construction parts TEP - Territorial Unit Prices for Construction Works.
We are looking for in TER - floors. This will be TER part 11. Floors. The rate that suits us is TER 11-01-036-03. But this does not mean that we have already found a price for the second item of the defective statement. An important feature is to still have time to see this price, whether it includes the cost of materials for the performance of our work. We see that the price of TER 11-01-036-03 does not include the cost of linoleum, so we are looking for it additionally.
The cost of materials is searched for in the TSTS collection. TSTS - a territorial collection of estimated prices for materials, products and structures used in construction. It consists of five parts.
1. TSTS 2001 Part I. Materials for general construction works
2. TSTS 2001 Part II. Building construction and products
3. TSTS 2001 Part III. Materials and products for sanitary works
4. TSTS 2001 Part IV. Concrete, reinforced concrete and ceramic products. Nonmetallic materials. Ready-mix concretes and mortars
5. TSTS 2001 Part V. Materials, products and structures for installation and special construction work
Since the replacement of linoleum is related to general construction work, we are looking for a price estimate for the cost of linoleum according to TSTS 2001 Part I. Materials for general construction work. This will be the price of TSTS 101-4216.
In addition, we take the coefficient for the consumption of the material, we take linoleum according to TSSTs 101-4216 17.5 m2 x1.02 = 17.85 m2
Now we can say that for the second item of the defective statement, we have found all the appropriate prices. We also include them in the estimate.
The estimate is almost ready, it remains to add all the necessary coefficients from the relevant MDS - Methodological documents in construction, such as, for example, according to clause 4.7. MDS 81-35.2004, if there are complicating factors and conditions for the production of these works, and reducing factors for overhead costs and estimated profit during repairs, this is also from MDS ( read more often and study MDS before making estimates) and you can release it.
The estimate will look like this, see

Just do not forget that the estimated prices in the collections and programs are based on the prices of 2000. Therefore, you must also multiply the final estimated cost in this estimate by the corresponding conversion index to current prices.
The index of conversion to current prices is different for each region.

After all that has been done, the finished estimate can be submitted for approval to the Contractor, and then for approval by the Customer.

AND NOW TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF BUDGETING AND CHECK YOURSELF IN THE SECTION:

Modern market conditions force customers to carefully approach the selection of contractors. The main document that allows you to do this is a commercial estimate. Such a document allows you to get an understanding of the real level of the cost of construction or repair work.

What is a business estimate

Such a document has great importance when choosing a contractor or looking for an investor. Commercial estimates are a document that reflects the amount of planned work, their final cost, the materials required for this. Such documentation can reflect not only the total costs of construction, but also for its individual stages. So, in order to assess the real cost, estimates for electricity and water supply, sewerage and a monolith (building frame) can be calculated.

The commercial estimate differs from that which is compiled on the basis of the current regulatory frameworks (the so-called state standard). The difference between them lies in the level of prices used in the calculations. As a rule, in the estimates of the state sample there are somewhat overestimated indicators. The commercial one includes contractual prices, which means it represents the actual price level.

Thus, this document does not have unnecessary elements, and therefore does not require additional development. A similar calculation is used in the interaction between private organizations and enterprises. Along with this, it can be used when resolving issues between departments of one large company. For cooperation with budgetary organizations, this type of calculation is used extremely rarely.

Do not confuse an estimate with a commercial offer. The principle of compiling these documents is approximately the same. However, they have slightly different goals for their compilation.

When is a commercial estimate required?

In itself, the calculation of the cost of the planned construction or repair is the foundation on which the success of the preparation, as well as the implementation of the project, directly depends. Also, this document is necessary for passing the examination.

Making calculations of this kind is an integral part of most business processes, especially in the construction industry. This is due to the fact that the increasing level of competition and complex pricing force organizations to carefully select contractors and compare prices for approximately the same volume of services.

A commercial estimate is an extremely useful and functional document. It may be required not only at the stage of preparation for the implementation of the project, but also after that. Such a document is required in the following cases.

1. Selecting a contractor. Based on this document, you can search for contractors and subcontractors to perform work and compare the received proposals with a pre-calculated cost.
2. Holding competitions and tenders. This kind of estimate can be taken as a basis for compiling tender documentation.
3. Search for investors. Such calculations are able to most accurately reflect the investment and commercial attractiveness of the object. Also, this document will allow you to evaluate the economic efficiency of construction or repair services.
4. Calculation of costs for the modernization of the facility. This kind of document allows you to estimate the amount of work required and their cost if the erected object needs improvements and refinement.
5. Cost reduction. This kind of estimate allows you to find reserves for savings during the planned work. Thus, with the help of this document, it is possible to reduce the cost of the object under construction.
6. Justification of risks. If there is a calculation of the cost of planned services, it is possible not only to estimate the actual costs, but also to justify the risks of construction or repair.

Thus, calculations of this kind make it possible to most effectively assess the economic attractiveness of a construction site or carrying out repair and modernization work. This kind of document allows you to rationally use resources and avoid many risks.

The procedure for drawing up a commercial estimate

The calculation of the cost of the planned work is carried out on the basis of the data and documentation provided by the Customer. This kind of estimate is compiled by professional estimators and represents a reasonable conclusion about the final price of carrying out certain works.

The basis this document different rates can be accepted. Their specific type, used in the calculations, is determined in agreement with the Customer.

There are three in total possible options prices, which are the basis for the preparation of a commercial estimate:

• mid-market;
• individual;
• state or local government.

The first option is the most optimal and appropriate for holding tenders and searching for contractors. The average market value is calculated on the basis of a thorough analysis of competitors or similar enterprises in a particular region.

Individual rates are the most suitable for obtaining an understanding of the investment attractiveness and economic efficiency of construction or modernization work. They represent the level of prices, which is set by the customer before the start of construction.

State or municipal rates can also be used to compare different offers in a particular segment. However, these may be inflated and may not reflect the actual cost of construction or repair.

The cost of preparing a commercial estimate

It is best to entrust commercial calculations to professionals in this field. Having extensive experience, estimators will make an estimate in a short time and with the most accurate and close to reality calculations.

The final cost of this type of service depends on many factors:

• amount of work on the calculation;
• their complexity;
• duration of cooperation with the company;
• individual pricing policy.

The issue of the cost of compiling commercial settlements is usually decided on a separate basis, taking into account all the factors mentioned.

Reducing the cost of the commercial estimate

No less popular than the preparation of calculations is the service of reducing the level of prices in already received. As a rule, this kind of need arises if the optimal contractor for the provision of services has already been selected, but there is a need to reduce the level of prices offered by him.

The reduction in the cost of the estimate is carried out according to the following principle.

1. The customer searches for a contractor or subcontractor for a specific amount of repair or construction work.
2. Among the organizations that are ready to provide the required services, the most optimal, in the opinion of the Customer, company is selected.
3. The selected company calculates the cost of the declared services, indicating their volume, the materials used and the final prices and transfers them to the Customer.
4. He, in turn, redirects the offer or estimate to professional estimators.
5. Based on a thorough analysis of the average market prices and offers of similar companies, information is compiled on the available opportunities to reduce costs.
6. After that, the Customer is informed about the available opportunities to reduce the cost of the declared work.

With extensive experience in preparing commercial estimates, professionals know the available ways to reduce costs and help identify ways to reduce them, as well as tell you if the selected contractor overstates the market price for services.
